It's more like "ra'lakhala3balach".

maybe Lebanese becuase it has no Qaf sound , but the qaf followed by "aa" vowel sounds like clucking to americans

Your sister looks unmistakably like you, no?

Alpinoid-- Mediterranid admixture though perhaps only by depending on angle-distortion.

Her face is less round than mine, i think. Her lower face and jaw is more 'pointy' than mine, if that makes sense.

But yes, i think we look alike, though we are completely different in every other aspect.

Sounds more Mediterranid.

[jam]

I thought the picture WAS you - guessed it was just the angle that made the face a bit triangular?

[atessalev]

I resent that Jam! lol

Maybe it is the weird angle of the photo.

Atessalev,
You can't use an atypical example and pretend that that's representative. I mean, yes: India has an upper caste and a fraction of that upper caste can pass for Iranians--and even a smaller fraction can pass for Euro-Mediterraneans.

We're talking infinitesimal.

So it's silly to take a Mediterranean girl (like the one who's the subject of this thread) and pretend that she looks "Indian". To the contrary. The atypical Indian girl you once saw looks Mediterranid.

I mean, hell: Who are we kidding? --The Indian girl you described had green eyes. Does anyone on this board want to pretend that that represents the average Indian?

It doesn't, and you know it doesn't.

So the girl on this thread doesn't look Indian, the Indian you once saw looked Mediterranean.

And that's not just being semantic.

(It's like finding a blonde Mongolian--as has appeared on one old Dodona thread--and pretending that Norwegians look "Mongolian," because two random pictures present two blond individuals.) You can't use an atypical example and hold it out as if it's "the statistical average" and use it as your frame of comparison.

I think you need to, as the saying goes, "take a chill pill".

I never said she looked Indian. I said on the second page that she looked "woggish most of the time". But i know Indian people personally who have said that she looks Indian.

[drooperdoo]

Yeah, Indians have a kind of racial hangup. I guess 5,000 years of the caste system will do that. So many times Indians will try to flatter themselves by claiming that any olive-skinned European could be Indian.

But looking upper caste Indian involves more than olive skin and dark hair.

No one on this board would pretend that olive-skinned, raven-haired Tyrone Power looks "Indian," yet you could probably find expatriate Indians who--overlooking massive bone-structural differences--would embarrassingly try to claim as much.



But who on this board--or even laymen in real life--would ever confuse a dark European like Tyrone Power for a man who looks realistically Indian bone-structure-wise . . .



For all that--embarrassingly--any one of us could find a dozen Indians who would try to lodge that claim.

Of course, I could be Chilean. In fact, I have family there.

By the tone of your comment, though, one assumes that by "Chilean," you mean aboriginal Chilean Indians.



I guess I could pass for one of them--if only for the fact that I don't have deep-reddish brown skin, a pinched hooked nose, or a stocky, neckless build.

My ample chest and body hair also kind of spoil it.

Other than that, I guess me and the guy in the picture above could be twins, lol



If Hollywood has taught us anything, it's this: Anyone can be an Indian--as long as he's Mediterranean, olive-skinned and black-haired. Like Robert Blake in "Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here":



Or Sal Mineo in "Tonka," as White Bull:



We three should start a new tribe of hairy, fat-nosed Indians. This ancient citizen of Pompeii can join, too. Look at how dark he is. Proof positive "Indians" swam all the way over to Rome!



Everyone knows that all Europeans are lily-white and blue-eyed. If you don't look like that you MUST clearly be an Indian, lol. It's a F-A-C-T.

yeah ok sitting bulnuts explain why you have a morphological similarity to this chibcha indian

Still waiting your response chief

It's a small picture and you can't really be that specific about his facial features.

[drooperdoo]

Yigal---

Of course I look like an "Indian" if you're holding yourself out to be one, lol.

We've already been back and forth about how ridiculously Caucasoid you are to be making some of your claims. I mean, hell: the least you could have done when posting a picture of yourself was to use one where you looked clean-shaven, and could pretend that you had sparse Amerindian body-hair. Instead, you have the telltale scruff of a Mediterranean--facial hair that if it grew out would give you a rabbinical beard. Hardly "Amerindian," my friend.

The same goes for your straight, fat Mediterranean nose. And your hazel eyes.

While I would never deny that you have at least SOME Indian blood, I *do* stress one fact: so does Johnny Depp. So does Val Kilmer. So does Cameron Diaz.

It's present in all of them, and, while vaguely apparent in Depp and Kilmer, it doesn't overwhelm the lions' share of Caucasoid genes in any of them. Same with you.

Go look at yourself in a mirror sometime. You look as Amerindian as Spain's Pedro Almodovar:



In a digression, it might be stated that both Yigal and Almodovar belong to the same sub-race in Iberia that produced Portuguese-American Steve Gonsalves (from the Sci-Fi networks' "Ghost Hunters"):



I believe that in Carleton Coon's "Races of Europe," he christened that sub-race: Homo magilla



Lundman called the same type Homo Hanna-Barbera, while Eickstedt quarrelled passionately with his colleagues that the sub-type fell under a wholly different heading of the larger cro-magnon family: Homo Flintstonicus.



...in any case, Yigal, no one's ever gonna mistake any of the three of your hairy asses for this lithe, aquiline-nosed, red-skinned, hairless Amerindian:

[Mike the Jedi]

lol... compare Mango to this Chibchan:

[Funk Monk]

This guy looks pretty much like Yigal, and he's half Venezuelan:

[Mike the Jedi]

Holy crap! Same inflated cheeks and everything! Is the girl in the foreground next to him in that last pic related to him? She looks part Amerind, too. Could be the spawn of Wilma Mankiller... lol
